I support the author (you?) on this 100%. Since the economic collapse is mathematically NOT preventable at this point, we need it to happen on Obama's watch, because HE made it happen. If it gets blamed on a Republican, the Left will get that much more power.
Neither Obama nor Romney are God. Neither Romney nor Obama are Christian, nor conservative.
A “radical” Christian voter may believe that God has lifted his blessing from our nation, regardless how this particular election turns out here on earth, believing that instead it will be He who sets before us our leaders. (The ones we deserve!)
In this post-Christian era in the USA, the two parties have melled into one, all of them duly elected, because they are “of the people” and represent the condition of the people, the moral decline of the broader population and certainly the decline in the “radically” faithful Christian.
Jesus would not fit in. And imagine Abraham? That Abraham and Isaac moment of sacrifice would be hooted off the laugh-o-meter by the media. But, Abraham did do his part first, in faith, in courage. Only AFTER Abraham did his part, did God do His work and provided for His faithful servant His saving act.
Great courage and great faith appear to be foolish, highly risky, maybe even deadly (for our nation), certainly scary, but never easy.
THIS is the time to do what is right, to act on right conscience and trust God for the rest.
I am not afraid of four more years of Obama, if that is what it takes to explode the socialist GOPE, who are actively moving the Republican Party to the Godless Left.
This is my test.
Paraphrasing here; “If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves, and pray,......I will heal their land.”
He is speaking to HIS PEOPLE, now the Church! Not to the strategical thinkers, the fearful and panicked, ordinary Republicans, with their eyes on what is seen but not upon the unsee, but to His CHURCH, His people.
We should FIRST do our part, IMHO, and vote against Romney, for all the obvious reasons his awful record provides us, trusting instead of in Romney, rather in our great Almighty God, and only AFTER we do our scary but faithful part, trust in God to provide our course.
REBELLION IS TOO DAMN HARD, and it’s scary. But we ARE the resistance. We are the Church.
